I like to make my large trees with a background fabric all fused and cutout first. Then I can place the smaller pieces of bark on top of the background using it as the shading and outlining of each piece. I have pinned it on to the quilts background where I like it. I have left the fusible paper on it because I first want to put on leaves and nuts That will be behind the trunk and some of the branches. Only then will I fuse it on and begin the bark. So leaves next.

Love your step by step as always. Is the tree a single piece of fabric or multiple pieces already fused together? The lights and shadows are already so awesome, that I cannot believe it could be just one piece. Love the background too!

This is a wonderful piece and I do like the dark tree. I took photos of a sunset with a tree, will have to see if it is in my files and maybe a good practice piece.

Annick, it is one piece of fabric...a dyed piece giving it a lot of depth. It will have a lot added to it though so wait to see which you prefer ....the simple whole cloth or the added texture of the bark.
